NHL 10 Roster Update 7 and Tuner Set 1.03 Available, Post Impressions Here

[Stormyhog]

Another reason I would choose NHL 10 over NHL2K10 is the support it gets with tuner & roster updates which makes improvements. PS3 owners who bought NHL 2K10 basically got the shaft as the support is dead with no patch support and overall rosters are poorly done on both systems and are out of date, the last one was in November I believe which makes it feel very amateurish compared to NHL 10 in that department. It doesn't feel like their is a dedicated team working on NHL 2K10 like their is on NHL 10. Their are some things I like in NHL 2K10 just not enough to recommend a purchase over the vastly superior NHL 10.

i agree, i wish 2k would steal it lol. i mean they have it, but its not as responsive. with that said, i think ea needs to tone down the skill stick a bit.. esp for non skilled players with the puck.

QFT. It would help the game out greatly.

i agree. it seems like a real easy fix to do.
They also have to get rid of the whipping wristshot all together. Alter the controls for up for a wrist shot and thats it. None of this pushing the stick to the right, then back and whipping a wristshot that always goes in.

Hope I'm not jumping in on a long standing debate, but the first thing to noticeable jump out to me after the latest tuner was the speed of the the CPU in my franchise play. Midway through a playoff series and the cpu speed has definitely increased from the first two pre tuner games. Noticed it most with loose pucks and when the cpu is out of position defensively with ultra quick recoveries.

Not sure if the tuner put more importance on the player attribute slider or what, but, at least in my case, the cpu definitely seems faster.

another positive note about the goalies is they play their depth properly.

before this tuner, bothh the user and the cpu will get some cheap rebound goals, because the goalies play so far out on shots.

the rebound goals scored now are far more legit imo.

also, ive scored 2 clean 5-hole goals on slot shots. it was possible before, but i think its even more possible now.

loving this tuner set a lot.

Im with you on that when the goalies don't have their angles right and pop a

rebound out he cant superman over and make the save all the time like the

other tuner sets, and im scoring all kinds of sweet sniper shots from the slot

area that I couldn't score before this new tuner set like five-hole, right

under his arm pits, just barely above his glove things like that its so

cool.......I love this v1.03 Tuner set too!

Ok, you bastards...yall convinced me to pull out the long cable and get a hold of this tuner set.

I like where my difficulty is, but the goaltenders could use some love and that seems to be what these sliders are all about.

I'm still playing the tuner that came out with the game.

Impressions to come...

Currently I'm playing as the Anchorage Wolverines (Created Team) and I'm 11-15-1 on All-Star.
